The goal of this project is to improve the quality of under- graduate laboratory experiences by equipping the organismal physiology laboratories with computer-assisted data acquisition apparati. Three courses in the Biology Department (General Zoology, Human Anatomy and Physiology, and Animal Physiology) will be directly affected. Previously, physiological experimentation in the laboratory sections of these courses was limited by inadequate equipment. The acquisition of computers, printers and appropriate hardware-software packages greatly enhances the ability of students to gather and analyze data. Six Laser 128 computers with monitors and printers and four software packages (Physiogrip, Spirocomp, Experiments in Human Physiology and Physio-graphic) constitute the suite of new equipment. These programs allow both majors and non-majors to collect data with a minimum of frustration, and introduce undergraduates to sophisticated uses of computers in Biology. The grantee institution is matching the NSF award with an equal sum obtained from non-Federal sources.

本计划旨在透过为生理实验室配备电脑辅助资料采集装置，以改善本科生的实验体验。生物系的三门课程（普通动物学、人体解剖学和生理学、动物生理学）将受到直接影响。以前，这些课程的实验室部分的生理实验受到设备不足的限制。购置计算机、打印机和相应的硬件软件包，大大提高了学生收集和分析数据的能力。这套新设备由六台配有显示器和打印机的激光128计算机和四个软件包（Physiogrip、Spirocomp、人体生理学实验和生理学）组成。这些程序允许专业学生和非专业学生以最小的挫折收集数据，并向本科生介绍计算机在生物学中的复杂用途。受资助机构将从非联邦来源获得等额的NSF奖励。
